Story Behind The Song

My boyfriend and I were attacked by a tiger shark in 2002. He got bit and in the aftermath of the trauma, we had a lot of self discoveries to make. It was easy after the near death experience to confront so many self-truths that I'd been denying.

Lyrics

Not Afraid

I'm not afraid to say that everything's unzipped
Heart's open wide, contents on the floor
I'm not afraid to say I hit the wall sometimes
Before I find the door

Chorus

la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
I might fear those sharks in the water
But I'm not afraid of me,
I'm not afraid of me.


I'm not afraid to stop and look you in the eye
Brace for the ride, face all the doubt.
I'm not afraid to feel the stillness in the air
When all the truth comes out

Chorus

la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
I might fear those sharks in the water
But I'm not afraid of me,
I'm not afraid of me.
